Gameplay-wise, DepraviA is actually a very solid platformer. This attention to detail reflects on other aspects of the game, of course. What’s better, on top of these scenes, you also get a different CG after the fact depending on what you die to, so porn content is definitely not lacking. In the worst case scenario, she’ll still get raped, but also get torn to shreds in a spray of blood and guts, or get impaled on a stake, or lose all her limbs, or get pancaked under a pillar trap. In the very best case scenario, Angelica will be held down and brutally raped. The game is difficult enough that you’re guaranteed to die at least a couple of times, and when you do, you’ll be treated to a spectacle.
This sort of stark, brutal atmosphere that’s so hard to “get” with 3D and that the old isometric 2D and 2.5D graphics excelled at is in full display at all times in DepraviA, making the game pornographic in more ways than one – a true feast for the eyes.ĭon’t worry though, the sex is just as good as the murder, and often comes right alongside it. Flying over the rooftops of burning houses? You’ll catch glimpses of the orgy of rape and murder going on inside through the windows. Spider enemies? You’ll see girls hanging from every flat surface, cocooned or with their guts sucked out. You’re surrounded by fire and corpses of women, many of them angels, who were beaten, raped, mutilated, and then executed, and as you progress through the game you’ll land on all sorts of details that buy into this time. The game goes all-out as far as its 2D graphics and engine will let it go, and the immediate feeling seconds in is that the demons you’re fighting aren’t just regular bad guys they’re pure evil. It’s evident from the loading screen with its reds and blacks and background music that calls you subhuman, but then as you start up the game and assume control of the Seraph Angelica, you’re immediately struck by the attention to detail. Fortunately, DepraviA delivers atmosphere in spades. Death and blood and rape don’t just show up out of nowhere, they demand at least some context. I mean, the atmosphere is important for pretty much every game, but if you’re into this sort of fetish it becomes rather paramount. See, an important part of good ryona/guro games is the atmosphere. If you’ve played such titles as Diablo 1 and its sequel, the brutal, gritty atmosphere of DepraviA is instantly familiar in spite of the anime art style, and that comparison is possibly the highest compliment I can pay the game, to the point where I actually wonder whether to leave it this early in the article. What makes the game excel, however, is the way this story is represented via the art and atmosphere. DepraviA is a very atmospheric, guro-centered action platformer focused on rape, gruesome death, and gruesome rape while being killed.Ĭreated by developer Blue Going Mad Diode, DepraviA sets you off with a very familiar premise: the forces of Hell have invaded Earth, and as an Angel, agent of goodness and justice, it is your task to stop them.
